I couldn't imagine any adult (since I assume that is what all posters here are) who had never seen either series before, watching a few episodes of each preferring the original over the reboot (unless they were enjoying the original as camp).
I'm not especially a fan of either. I watched the original when it was new and I was under ten. I have fond memories. But then I caught a couple of episodes more recently. Like a rewatch of The Dukes of Hazzard, the nostalgia quickly fell away.
The remake, I watched for a few seasons before I drifted away. I just don't tend to care for long, episodic content. But it is clearly far superior to the show it was based on.
The Peabody Awards, the Emmys, Time magazine, the Television Critics Association, The New York Times, Rotten Tomatoes, Rolling Stone, IMDb and likely any other place that has a review of either series seem to concur.
But Dirk Benedict hated the relaunch. So there's that  |
I was 15 when the original BSG aired. The remake is more dark and the characters less likable. The remake just doesn't work. The remake is in noway better then the original. It''s far worse. It's dark, unlikable characters, and boring as heck.
